-	Révélé par [[Dr. Dre]], Eminem est reconnu pour son talent dans l'emploi des figures de sonorités et en particulier pour son maniement habile de l'[[allitération]] (le magazine américain ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' l'a surnommé ''The Alliterator''<ref>http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/movie/5949399/review/5949400/8_mile</ref>), de l'[[assonance]] ou du [[jeu de mots]] entre autres.

-	Il est controversé pour les paroles de certaines de ses chansons.	+	==Biography==
		+	===Early life (1972-1994)===
		+	Eminem was born in [[St. Joseph, Missouri]] to Deborah (née '''Nelson''') and Marshall Bruce Mathers II, of Scottish, German, and English descent.<ref>William Addams Reitwiesner Genealogical Service [http://www.wargs.com/other/mathers.html Ancestry of Marshall Bruce Mathers III]. Wargs. Accessed [[July 30]] [[2007]]</ref> Shortly after his birth, his father walked out, leaving Debbie and Marshall alone. Until he was 12, he and his mother moved to and from between St. Joseph and [[Warren, Michigan]], a [[Detroit]] suburb, where he met [[D12]] rapper [[Proof (rapper)|Proof]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-2kk6s1axk Proof and Eminem Freestyle]. Youtube. Accessed [[March 27]] [[2007]].</ref> He was reportedly interested in [[hip hop]] from a young age. Because he was small for his age and he was one of the few [[White American|whites]] that lived in an [[African American]] neighboorhood he was reportedly picked on. Mathers decided that even though he was too small to fight back he would instead retaliate with words. Learning how to "battle" his foes with rap music gave him an outlet for his anger.<ref>[http://www.hiphoproll.com/eminem/ Biography of Eminem]. Hip Hop Roll. Accessed [[October 21]] [[2007]].</ref> Mathers began performing as early as 13 in a group called [[Bassmint Productions]] where they produced an [[EP]] called ''[[Steppin' onto the Scene]]''.
-	Avec l'énorme succès de son album ''[[The Marshall Mathers LP]]'' sorti en [[mai 2000]] et sa nomination pour quatre [[Grammy Award]]s, dont l' « album de l'année », des associations comme le GLAAD ont dénoncé certains de ses textes les jugeant homophobes, tandis que d'autres dénoncent la violence extrême de certains titres. Néanmoins, Eminem a été couvert d'éloges par la communauté Hip Hop et par le poète [[Seamus Heaney]]<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3033614.stm</ref> en tant que rimeur hors pair (''ability lyrical''<ref>http://www.vibe.com/news/magazine_features/2005/01/cover_story_zen_eminem/</ref>).	+	=== First releases (1995-1998)===
		+	In 1995, he recorded his first official tape, ''[[Fuckin’ Backstabber/Soul Intent]]''. In 1996, he released an independent underground album named ''[[Infinite (album)|Infinite]]''. Eminem recalls: "Obviously, I was young and influenced by other artists, and I got a lot of feedback saying that I sounded like Nas and AZ. ''Infinite'' was me trying to figure out how I wanted my rap style to be, how I wanted to sound on the mic and present myself. It was a growing stage. I felt like ''Infinite'' was like a demo that just got pressed up."<ref>[http://www.vanityfair.com/commentary/content/articles/041109roco01 Eminems Underground debut]. VanityFair. Accessed [[August 2]] [[2007]].</ref><ref>[http://www.eminem.net/biography/ Eminem Biography]. Eminem.net. Accessed [[August 2]] [[2007]].</ref> Mathers followed ''Infinite'' with ''[[The Slim Shady EP]]'', which saw his lyrics take a decidedly darker turn, in songs like "No One's Iller" and "Murder Murder", the latter of which he talks about having to commit crimes to feed his daughter.
-	Bien qu' Eminem ne se considère pas comme un artiste engagé politiquement dans ses chansons, en [[2004]] et avant les [[Élection présidentielle des États-Unis d'Amérique 2004|élections présidentielles]], il sort la chanson ''"[[Mosh (chanson)|Mosh]]"'', brûlot anti-[[George W. Bush|Bush]] qui dénonce aussi sa décision d'aller faire la [[guerre en Irak]].	+	After this album he received much attention and mixed reviews in the [[hip-hop]] underground scene, due to his distinctive style and the fact that he was [[White American|white]] in a predominantly [[African-American|black]] genre.
-	En 2006, Eminem, [[Mos Def]] et [[Immortal Technique]] créent ensemble une chanson qui reprend les [[théories du complot à propos des attentats du 11 septembre 2001]] : ''"Tell the Truth"''.	+	Mathers had done a notable amount of rapping with fellow Detroit MC [[Royce da 5'9"]] early in his career. They referred to themselves as [[Bad Meets Evil]], with Eminem playing 'The Bad' and Royce playing 'The Evil'. Royce da 5'9" and Eminem were once considered to be two of the greatest underground [[Emcee#Hip hop culture|MC]]s in Detroit and were noted for their lyrical ability.
-	==Le jeune Marshall==	+	In [[1997]], when Eminem was still rising to fame, he started a long feud against the already famous [[Insane Clown Posse]]. The feud originated in 1997 at ''Saint Andrew's Hall'', where Eminem was handing out flyers for a party promoting his ''[[Slim Shady EP]]''. The flyer listed appearances by a number of Detroit rappers, including ICP. [[Violent J]], a member of ICP, was not too happy about being listed without his knowledge and he told Eminem that he wasn't going to play at his party. Eminem, taking his rejection as an insult, began insulting ICP, telling people, for example, that he threw them out of a club in Detroit. ICP denied the event in their song ''Nuttin' But a Bitch Thang'': <blockquote>"You ain't never chased us out of no club bitch... only club you ever chased anybody out of was a gay bar bitch".</blockquote>
-	Après un départ difficile dans sa vie, à commencer par l'abandon du foyer de son père deux mois après sa naissance, sa mère Debbie assumera seule l'éducation du petit Marshall. Cet abandon ne sera jamais pardonné à son père; on retrouve à maintes reprises dans les chansons d'Eminem des allusions peu valorisantes adressées à son attention. Même si depuis le père d'Eminem a essayé de recoller les morceaux quand il sut son fils célèbre, ce dernier a refusé de le revoir en lui déclarant qu'il lui avait par le passé envoyé des lettres, restées sans réponses pendant son adolescence. Marshall a également un petit frère nommé Nathan	+	The rivalry between these rappers has not slowed down, as of recently.
-	Marshall Mathers (Eminem) passa la majeure partie de sa jeunesse dans les quartiers de la banlieue difficile de [[Detroit]] dans le [[Michigan]]. Comme il le raconte, il subissait régulièrement des maltraitances de la part des jeunes qu'il fréquentait parce qu'il était blanc et d'apparence frêle. Les nombreux déménagements ne changeaient rien à cette situation : partout où il allait il restait un bouc émissaire. C'est ainsi qu'à l'âge de 9 ans, il se fait tabasser violemment par un imposant camarade [[D'Angelo Bailey]]. Marshall va rester une dizaine de jours dans le coma et gardera les séquelles de cette violence. Cet épisode de sa vie sera repris dans le morceau « Brain Damage » (dommage cérébral).	+	===Rise to fame (1999-2004)===
		+	After being signed to [[Aftermath Entertainment]]/[[Interscope Records]], Eminem released [[The Slim Shady LP]], which went on to be one of the most popular albums of 1999, going [[RIAA certification|triple platinum]] by the end of the year.<ref name=rotn>[http://www.rockonthenet.com/artists-e/eminem_main.htm Eminem Timeline]. ''Rock on the Net''. Accessed [[August 1]] [[2007]].</ref> With the album's popularity came controversy surrounding many of the album's lyrics. In "'97 Bonnie and Clyde", he describes a trip with his infant daughter, disposing of the body of his wife. Another song, "[[Guilty Conscience]]", ends with his encouraging a man to murder his wife and her lover. "Guilty Conscience" also marked the beginning of the powerful friendship and musical bond that [[Dr. Dre]] and Eminem would share. The two label-mates would later collaborate on a line of hit songs, including "[[Forgot About Dre]]" and "What's the Difference" from Dr. Dre's album ''[[2001 (album)|2001]]'', "[[Bitch Please II]]" from the ''[[Marshall Mathers LP]]'', "Say What You Say" from ''[[The Eminem Show]]'' and "[[Encore/Curtains Down]]" from ''[[Encore]]''.
-	Après cet événement violent, les bourreaux de Marshall se calment, et il entame des séances de musculation. Il pourra enfin découvrir la vie et passer du temps avec son oncle Ronnie, d'un an son aîné, qu'il considère comme son grand frère et son meilleur ami. Ronnie lui fait découvrir ses albums de rap, notamment une bande originale de film ''Breakin'' qui inclut le titre ''"Reckless"'' d'[[Ice-T]], et Eminem se passionne pour l'écriture de rimes.	+	Eminem was arrested when, on [[June 3]], [[2000]], during an altercation at a car audio store in [[Royal Oak, Michigan]], with Douglas Dail, the ICP manager, he pulled out an unloaded gun and kept it pointed at the ground<ref name="AOZ">[http://www.the411online.com/news18.html ''The 411 online'' - Archives]</ref>. The following day, in Warren, Michigan, he allegedly saw his then wife, Kim, kiss the bouncer John Guerrera in the parking lot of the ''Hot Rock Café'' and assaulted him with his gun<ref name="AOZ"/>. He was given two years probation for both the episodes<ref>[http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1442656/20010410/eminem.jhtml ''MTV News'' - Eminem Gets Two Years' Probation In Weapon Case (April 10, 2001)]</ref>.

-	Marshall découvre l'amour auprès d'une camarade de classe, [[Kimberley Scott]] (alias Kim), qu'il rencontre à l'âge de 14 ans. Après quatre ans de vie commune, les deux jeunes se marient en 1990.	+
-	==Les débuts d'Eminem==	+	The Marshall Mathers LP was released in [[May]] [[2000]], and quickly sold two million copies. It was Eminem's fastest selling album to date.<ref>[http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5923810/eminem_bounces_britney_from_top_spot Eminem Bounces Britney From Top Spot]. "RollingStone". Accessed [[July 31]] [[2007]]</ref> The first single released from the album, "[[The Real Slim Shady]]", was a success and created some buzz by insulting celebrities and making dubious claims about them; he implies, among other things, that [[Christina Aguilera]] performed [[oral sex]] on [[Fred Durst]] (of [[Limp Bizkit]]) and [[Carson Daly]] (of [[MTV]]'s ''[[Total Request Live]]'').<ref>[http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/eminem/therealslimshady.html "The Real Slim Shady" Lyrics]. AZLyrics. Accessed [[August 3]] [[2007]].</ref> In his second single, "[[The Way I Am (Eminem song)|The Way I Am]]", he reveals to his fans the pressures from his record company to top "[[My Name Is]]" and sell more records. Although Eminem had parodied shock rocker [[Marilyn Manson]] in the video "My Name Is", the artists are now on good terms. They have performed a remix of the song "The Way I Am" together in concert.<ref>[http://www.nyrock.com/worldbeat/02_2001/021601.asp Some Marilyn Manson Scraps From the Road]. NYRock. Accessed [[July 31]] [[2007]].</ref> In the third single, "[[Stan (song)|Stan]]" (which samples [[Dido (singer)|Dido]]'s "[[Thank You (Dido song)|Thank You]]"), Eminem attempts to deal with his new-found fame, taking on the perspective of a deranged fan who kills himself and his pregnant girlfriend, mirroring "'97 Bonnie & Clyde" on ''The Slim Shady LP''. It was named as the third greatest rap song of all time in a list compiled by ''Q'' Magazine,<ref>Steve Parker ([[July]] [[2004]]).

-	En 1993, tout s'écroule dans la vie de Marshall lorsqu'il apprend que Ronnie se suicide à la suite d'une dépression sentimentale. Le choc lui enlève toute envie d'écrire des rimes pendant deux ans. Le [[25 décembre]] [[1995]], Kim met au monde Hailie Jade Mathers, et Marshall qui enchaîne les petits boulots décide alors de faire du rap pour s'en sortir et offrir à sa fille l'enfance qu'il n'a pas connue. Il choisit le nom de scène Eminem (M & M, pour Marshall and Mathers).	+
-	Les débuts d'Eminem sont plutôt timides, et en 1996 son premier album ''[[Infinite]]'' qui ne sort qu'à Detroit ne se vend qu'à quelques milliers d'exemplaires. Les critiques sont partagées, on reproche notamment à Eminem de proposer un style trop similaire à des artistes tels que [[Nas (rappeur)|Nas]] et [[AZ (rappeur)|AZ]]. Cet échec n'arrange pas le moral du jeune chanteur, qui aurait été jusqu'à commettre une tentative de suicide.	+	Mathers' third major album, The Eminem Show, was released in summer 2002 and proved to be another hit for the rapper reaching number one on the charts and selling well over 1 million copies in its first week of release.<ref name=rotn/> It featured the single "[[Without Me]]", an apparent sequel to "The Real Slim Shady", in which he makes derogatory comments about [[boy band]]s, [[Limp Bizkit]], [[Moby]], and [[Lynne Cheney]], among others. The album reflected on the impact of his rise to fame, his relationship with his wife and daughter, and his status in the hip-hop community. He also addresses the charges he faced over assaulting a [[doorman|bouncer]] he saw kissing his wife in 2000. While there is clear anger present on several tracks, this album was considerably less inflammatory than the previous, and as such did not face any protests of misogyny and homophobia that had plagued ''The Marshall Mathers LP''.
-	==La naissance de Slim Shady==	+	The year 2004 saw the release of Mathers' fourth major album, Encore. The album was another chart-topper for the rapper, driven by the single "[[Just Lose It]]", notable for being disrespectful towards [[Michael Jackson]].<ref>[http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/eminem/justloseit.html Eminem-"Just Lose It" Lyrics]. AZLyrics. Accessed [[August 3]] [[2007]]</ref> Despite the comedic theme of the lead single, ''Encore'' also had its fair share of serious subject matter, including the anti-war track "[[Mosh (song)|Mosh]]".
-	Eminem se cherche alors ensuite une nouvelle identité musicale. C'est ainsi que naît '''Slim Shady''', personnage présentant une facette plus 'sombre' du rappeur. En 1997, il sort son second album, ''[[The Slim Shady EP]]'', plus noir que le premier et qui fait la part belle à la nouvelle avatar.	+	By the end of 2005 Mathers released the single, "[[When I'm Gone]]", recorded for the greatest-hits set [[Curtain Call: The Hits]].
-	==Le succès==	+	Eminem often said that one of his most influential rappers in his career was [[Tupac Shakur]], during an interview for the ''[[Tupac: Resurrection]]'' documentary.<ref>Reid, Shaheem; Lazin, Lauren. [http://www.mtv.com/bands/t/tupac/news_feature_102703/ Eminem: Reconstructing Tupac]. [[MTV]]: October 27, 2003. Accessed [[July 31]] [[2007]]</ref>
-	Au début de l'année 1997 a lieu le tournant de sa carrière musicale : il remporte le Wake Up Show's Freestyle Performer Of The Year et finit second des Rap Olympics à [[Los Angeles]] ce qu'il lui vaut d'être repéré par [[Dr. Dre]], le célèbre producteur [[Hip-Hop]] qui le fait signer sur son label ''[[Aftermath Entertainment]]''. Eminem reprend alors son ''[[The Slim Shady EP]]'', le remanie à l'aide de Dr Dre et y incorpore les tubes ''"[[My Name Is]]"'' et ''"[[Guilty Conscience (chanson)|Guilty Conscience]]"''. En 1999, Eminem livre donc son troisième opus, ''[[The Slim Shady LP]]'', qui s'avère être son premier album sorti sur une major. Des paroles indécentes et un flow unique et très technique permettent à Slim de connaître un succès mondial (l'album est triple disque de platine).	+
-	Il forme également le groupe [[D-12]] (Dirty Dozen, soit « [[Les Douze salopards]] », chacun des six membres ayant un double lui servant d'exutoire), dont les membres sont Eminem, [[Proof]] (ami d'enfance d'Eminem qui sera tué en 2006), [[Bizarre (Musicien)|Bizarre]], [[Kon Artis]], [[Kuniva]] et [[Swifty Mc Vay]] (ce dernier a remplacé [[Bugz]] après son assassinat). Ils enregistrent leur premier album ''[[The Underground EP]]'', sorti uniquement à [[Detroit]].	+	===Recent years (2005-present)===
		+	In 2005, some industry insiders speculated that Mathers was considering ending his rapping career after six years and several multi-platinum albums. Speculation began in early 2005 about a double-disc album to be released late that year, rumored to be titled ''The Funeral''. <ref>[http://www.1strowseats.com/blog/?p=32 Eminem-''The Funeral'']. 1StrowSeats. Accessed [[July 31]] [[2007]]</ref> The album manifested itself under the name ''[[Curtain Call: The Hits]],'' and was released on [[December 6]] [[2005]] under Aftermath Entertainment. In July 2005, the ''Detroit Free Press'' broke news of a potential final bow for Mathers as a solo performer, quoting members of his inside circle who said that he will begin to fully embrace the role of producer and label executive. The ''Free Press'', Mathers' hometown paper, wrote that the aptly titled ''Encore'' album would now stand as his final solo album.<ref>[http://www.freep.com/entertainment/music/encore15e_20050715.htm The end of Eminem?]. Freep. Accessed [[July 31]] [[2007]]</ref> On [[December 6]] [[2005]], the day ''Curtain Call: The Hits'' was released, Mathers denied that he was retiring on Detroit-based WKQI's "Mojo in the Mornin'" radio show, but implied that he would at least be taking a break as an artist, saying "I'm at a point in my life right now where I feel like I don't know where my career is going… This is the reason that we called it 'Curtain Call,' because this could be the final thing. We don't know."<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/arts/AP-People-Eminem.html Curtain Call, The End Of Eminem?]. NYTimes. Accessed [[July 31]] [[2007]]</ref>
-	==La confirmation...==	+	On [[December 5]] [[2006]], Eminem released an album compilation entitled ''[[Eminem Presents the Re-Up]]''. It started out as a mixtape but Eminem found that the material was better than expected and released it as a full album. It was meant to help launch new [[Shady Records]] artists [[Stat Quo]], [[Ca$his]], and [[Bobby Creekwater]]. <ref>[http://stores.musictoday.com/store/dept.asp?band_id=82&dept_id=1305&sfid=2 Eminem present the Re-Up, Now an album]. MusicToday. Accessed [[August 3]] [[2007]]</ref>
-	Le [[23 mai]] [[2000]], Eminem sort son deuxième véritable album, ''[[The Marshall Mathers LP]]'', toujours sous le label de Dr. Dre, qui est l'un des albums les plus vendus de l'histoire du rap (plus de 1,7 million de ventes la première semaine). Propulsé au sommet des charts grâce aux tubes ''"The Real Slim Shady"'', ''"The Way I Am"'' et ''"Stan"'', l'album est d'une originalité surprenante avec des morceaux comme ''"Marshall Mathers"'', ''"Bitch Please II"'', ''"Under The Influence"'', ''"Criminal"'' ou encore ''"Kim"'' (ce dernier mettant en scène le meurtre de son ex Kim par son alter ego Slim Shady). Ce succès est couronné dans la foulée par une tournée ''Up in Smoke'' mémorable avec Dr. Dre mais aussi [[Snoop Dogg]], [[Ice Cube]], [[Xzibit]], [[Kurupt]], [[Nate Dogg]], [[MC Ren]] et ses amis de [[D-12]].	+
-	==... et la controverse==	+	In September 2007, Eminem called into New York radio station [[Hot 97]] during a [[50 Cent]] interview and confirmed he is hard at work on his first studio album in three years. He said, "I'm always working -- I'm always in the studio. It feels good right now, the energy of the label. For a while, I didn't want to go back to the studio ... I went through some personal things. I'm coming out of those personal things [and] it feels good." And though he jokingly said he'd release the new CD "tomorrow", there is no official release date, according to [[Interscope Records|Interscope]]. <ref>[http://www.rapbasement.com/news/eminem/eminem-in-limbo-says-hes-not-sure-about-another-album.html Eminem in "Limbo", Says He's Not Sure About Another Album]. Rap Basement. Accessed [[September 13]] [[2007]]</ref> [[Dr. Dre]] told the [[Los Angeles Times]] that he will now devote two months to work on Eminem's new highly-anticipated album, saying "We'll be trying to get his thing done and work on a few things on my own project".<ref>Robert Hilburn ([[September 23]] [[2007]]).

-	Un grand nombre de ses titres alimentent cependant d'importantes controverses ; Eminem est notamment accusé d'homophobie. Il se justifie en invoquant son alter ego, Slim Shady :	+
-	: « ''Parfois sur scène je joue le rôle de l'Américain moyen, étroit d'esprit et conservateur, qui rejette tout ce qui est différent. Ce rôle est symbolisé par l'alter ego que j'ai créé dans mes chansons, Slim Shady. J'aime endosser ce personnage, juste pour montrer aux gens à quel point ils sont ridicules. Certains ne me comprennent pas et prennent cette ironie au pied de la lettre''... ».	+
-	Pour couper court à cette polémique, Eminem répondra aussi en chantant peu après en duo avec le chanteur [[Elton John]], engagé dans la lutte contre l'homophobie. Il recevra des mains de celui-ci le prix du meilleur artiste international masculin lors de la cérémonie des [[Brit Awards]] de 2001, quelques mois plus tard.	+
-	C'est aussi par le personnage Slim Shady qu'il parvient à s'exprimer librement, se vengeant ainsi de tout ce qu'il a subi auparavant et se sert de sa musique comme d'une thérapie : « Pourquoi aurais-je besoin de voir un psy ? Le monde est mon thérapeute ». Il profite aussi de cet alter ego pour répondre aux médias ou autres détracteurs en mélangeant comme à son habitude le sérieux, le cynisme ou l'ironie comme il le fait dans diverses de ses titres : « Les gens disent que j'ai une mauvaise influence/ Je leur réponds que le monde n'est déjà qu'un amas d'immondices, je n'en suis qu'une parmi tant d'autres » dit-il dans le refrain de ''"Bad Influence"''. Cette attitude est confirmée dans la chanson « Renegade » (sur l'album ''[[The Blueprint]]'' de [[Jay-Z]]), où Eminem s'adresse à ses auditeurs mais répond surtout aux accusations des médias et de la célèbre secte de l'Église de Jésus-Christ des saints des derniers jours qui déclarait voir en lui un homme non-croyant possédé par le démon :	+	In November, [[50 Cent]] said Eminem won't tour again because of his daughter. He told [[MTV One]]: "I've toured more than him because he has Hailie and he likes to physically be at the house. A lot of people don't know the reason behind him touring less - but Hailie would put boxes in front of the door thinking this would stop him going. He would fly back on a private plane after the show so he could drive her to school in the morning so for him the tour was exhausting." <ref>[http://www.mtv.co.uk/channel/mtvuk/news/15112007/383554/50_cent_reveals_all ''MTV.co.uk'' - 50 Cent reveals all (November 15, 2007)]</ref>
-	:'' « Ils me désignent comme une menace et si ce rôle est véritablement mien, alors je l'accepterai sans broncher / Mais si ce n'est pas le cas, vous allez devoir accepter cette rude et triste vérité [...] Est-ce de la colère que je répend afin d'en nourrir votre esprit ? / Est-ce de la belle musique que je fais afin que vous puissiez la chérir ? / C'est à nous en tant que personne de décider si Shady est aussi mauvais qu'ils le prétendent / Ou si ce dernier est au contraire l'une des dernières échappatoires / Qui utilise sa musique pour le guider, partageant grâce à elle sa vision et ses démons [...] Je briserai la peinture dans laquelle ils me peignent comme un promoteur de la haine ou bien un athée diabolique [...] Je suis le bouc émissaire des médias, le dernier d'une longue liste / Sur lequel ils peuvent pointer du doigt pour se disculper de leurs fautes / Tous, sans exception, se répugnent à te donner le moindre amour; mais qu'ai-je donc fait ? / Je ne suis simplement qu'un enfant de la misère qui a bâti sa fortune sur le dos de ces sangsues ». ''	+
-	En 2001, Eminem enregistre un second album (le premier album majeur) avec les [[D-12]] intitulé [[Devil's Night]], dont les titres ''"Purple Pills"'', ''"Ain't Nuttin' But Music"'' et ''"Fight Music"'' sont remarqués. La même année, des ennuis judiciaires débutent. Les premières accusations sont d'ordre familial : d'abord avec sa mère pour insultes, et ce en particulier pour le titre ''"Criminal"'' où Eminem dit :	+	In October 2007, a [[DJ Whoo Kid]] untitled track was leaked but there is no information on when it was recorded. <ref>[http://www.rapbasement.com/media/audio/eminem-untitled.html Eminem - ''Untitled'']</ref> It was announced that on [[November 13]] he is going to release a new [[DVD]], ''Live from New York City''<ref>[http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=14911 ''XXL.com'' - Eminem Releases ''Live in New York City'' DVD] ([[October 16]], [[2007]])</ref>; the 2005 [[Madison Square Garden]] concert was originally aired on the [[Showtime]] network in December 2005. The concert was shown on a few occasions on MTV in Europe. It features [[D12]], [[Obie Trice]] and [[Stat Quo]].
-	:'' « Ma mère était plongée dans les drogues – alcool, cigarettes et ecstasy / Une graine allait grandir en elle et devenir aussi folle qu'elle l'était / Lorsque le bébé est sorti, il était défiguré, avait les ligaments malformés / Ne te moque pas de ce bébé car ce bébé c'était moi / Je suis un criminel - un animal que l'on a mis en cage et qui a mal tourné / Mais comment peut-il en être autrement lorsque personne ne te prend en charge ». ''	+
-	Ensuite ce sera le tour de son épouse Kim avec le morceau « Kim » qui conduira par la suite leur union vers un divorce. D'autre part, des lobbys homosexuels le poursuivent devant les tribunaux pour propos [[homophobie|homophobes]]; selon ces derniers Eminem fait la promotion de la violence et de la haine. Il se justifie notamment dans son procès, en expliquant que l'homosexualité des Blancs est un des grands leitmotivs du ghetto qu'il connut dans son enfance. Enfin il se fait arrêter par la police à [[Detroit]] après avoir tabassé le rappeur [[Esham]] qui s'en était pris verbalement à sa fille sur scène. Suite à l'agression, Eminem ajoutera dans une chanson: « Si je t'entends une nouvelle fois souiller le nom de ma fille, je te tue... ». Le rappeur Esham voudra d'abord porter plainte pour coups et blessures après avoir été emmené à l'hôpital, mais se ravisera par la suite. Finalement le vilain petit canard de [[Detroit]] modère son slalom géant entre humour et outrage, politique et polémique, et s'en sort avec des condamnations sous forme d'amendes et une surveillance policière pendant deux ans, mais il conservera la garde de sa fille à qui il dédie une chanson dans l'album ''[[The Eminem Show]]'' (''"Hailie's Song"''), puis une autre dans l'album ''[[Encore (Eminem)|Encore]]'' (''"Mockingbird"'').	+
-	==La consécration==	+	==Other projects and D12==
-	Son cinquième album ''[[The Eminem Show]]'' sorti le [[28 mai]] [[2002]] est plus soft dans son contenu lyriciste. Cela ne l'empêche pas de se vendre autant que le précédent grâce à ''"Without Me"'', ''"Business"'', ''"Cleanin' out My Closet"'' et ''"Sing For The Moment"''. 2002 est l'année d'Eminem car il débute au cinéma comme acteur principal dans le film ''[[8 Mile]]'', du nom de la rue qui sépare le quartier noir du quartier blanc à Détroit, aux côtés de [[Kim Basinger]], [[Mekhi Phifer]] et [[Brittany Murphy]]. Le film rencontre un immense succès critique et commercial aux [[États-Unis]] et en [[France]] où il sort en salles le [[26 février]] [[2003]]. La bande originale du film est également un succès avec une pléiade d'artistes reconnus, et surtout le morceau ''"Lose Yourself"'' (qui verra Eminem récompensé d'un [[Academy Awards]], [[Oscar du cinéma|Oscar]] pour ce titre) qui devient le single le plus vendu du rappeur et est souvent comparé au célèbre « Eye Of The Tiger » de la série des [[Rocky (film, 1976)|Rocky]]. En 2004, [[D-12]] est de retour avec l'album ''[[D12 World]]'' dont les titres ''"My Band"'' et ''"How Come"'' lui assurent le succès.	+	{{Main|D12}}
		+	In 2001, Mathers brought his rap group, [[D12]], to the popular music scene. In 2001, D12 released their hit debut album ''[[Devil's Night (album)]]''.
-	==L'après 8-Mile==	+	The first single released off of the album was "[[Purple Pills]]", an ode to recreational drug use. (In the UK this was preceded by "[[Shit on You]]", included on the special edition version of the album.) The version of "Purple Pills" released for radio and music television was heavily rewritten to remove many of the song's obscene lyrics, and renamed "Purple Hills". While the first single was a hit, the album's second single, "[[Fight Music]]", was not as successful, in part due to its timing in relation to the 9/11 attacks.
-	Pour son sixième album, ''[[Encore (Eminem)|Encore]]'', Eminem mêle comme à son habitude chansons loufoques et morceaux sérieux. Dans « Just Lose It », il parodie, entre autres, [[Michael Jackson]]; ce dernier le prend très mal et demande, puis obtient, le retrait du clip de la chaîne américaine [[Black Entertainment Television|BET]]. Le [[26 octobre]] [[2004]], à une semaine des élections américaines, Eminem diffuse le clip de ''"[[Mosh (chanson)|Mosh]]"'', un puissant hymne anti-[[George W. Bush|Bush]] :	+
-	:'' « Assez de sang versé pour le pétrole, nous avons nos propres batailles meurtrières à combattre sur notre sol/ Pas d'autre guerre psychologique dans le but de nous mystifier et nous amener à penser que nous ne sommes pas loyaux/ Regardez dans ses yeux, il n'y a de la place que pour le mensonge/ La bannière étoilée a été dérobée et blanchie pour être remplacée par son propre visage ». ''	+
-	Néanmoins cette vidéo fut censurée durant la campagne électorale. Eminem produira ensuite totalement le dernier album posthume de [[2Pac]] intitulé ''Loyal to the Game'' et le titre ''"We Ain't"'' pour [[The Game (rappeur)|The Game]] qui livrera son premier opus ''[[The Documentary]]'' en [[janvier 2005]]. Eminem continuera de produire sur les prochains albums solos de ses compères de [[D-12]] comme celui de [[Bizarre (Musicien)|Bizarre]] ou [[Proof]] qui sont prévus pour Mars et Avril chacun. Il en est de même pour le nouvel album de [[50 Cent]] qui s'intitule ''[[The Massacre]]'' et qui sera encore produit majoritairement par Eminem et Dre.	+
-	==Une année difficile==	+	After their debut, D12 took a three-year break from the studio, later regrouping to release their second album, ''[[D12 World]]'', in 2004, which featured the popular hit single release "My Band". The other members of D12 have also appeared as guests on all of Mathers' albums since ''The Marshall Mathers LP''.
-	En 2005, après une tournée épuisante aux [[États-Unis]], le ''Anger Management Tour'', il annule sa tournée en [[Europe]], qui devait à l'origine passer par le [[Stade de France]] le [[7 septembre]] [[2005]]. Il a été hospitalisé pour dépendance aux somnifères. Malgré les rumeurs affirmant qu'il allait se retirer du monde du rap, il a annoncé qu'il faisait juste une pause pour profiter de sa famille et se concentrer sur la production.	+
-	Le [[10 décembre]] sortait ''[[Curtain Call - The Hits|Curtain Call]]'', recueil de morceaux qui comporte trois inédits, et c'est cette même journée qu'il annonce sur les ondes d'une radio de [[Detroit|Détroit]] qu'il était réconcilié avec son ex-femme Kim et se remarie avec elle le [[14 janvier]] [[2006]] à Rochester Hills dans le [[Michigan]] pour à nouveau divorcer 3 mois plus tard, et pour enfin se remettre ensemble quelques mois après.	+	On [[April 11]], [[2006]], D12 member Proof was killed by a gunshot wound to the head at approximately 4:30am [[Eastern Daylight Time|EDT]] (08:30 [[Coordinated Universal Time|UTC]]) at the [[CCC Club]] on [[8 Mile Road]] in [[Detroit, Michigan|Detroit]], [[Michigan]] after fatally shooting U.S. military veteran Keith Bender, Jr. Proof was buried on [[April 20]], [[2006]] in The Fellowship Chapel, Detroit to a full house of 2,000 with thousands more mourning outside. Mathers and [[Obie Trice]] both read [[Eulogy|eulogies]] at the service.
-	En début d'année, son deuxième protégé, [[Obie Trice]], de [[Detroit]], se fait blesser par balle à la tête mais s'en sortira vivant. Le [[11 avril]], son meilleur ami et compère du groupe [[D-12]], [[Proof]], se fait tuer par balle, suite à une fusillade, devant un club situé sur la ''8 Mile Road'', le CCC. Ironie du sort, le clip ''"[[Like Toy Soldiers]]"'' d'Eminem sorti il y a moins d'un an mettait en scène les méfaits que pouvaient causer les rivalités présentes dans le milieu du rap, le tout illustré par l'assassinat de Proof par balles, dans les rues de Detroit.	+	An excerpt:
-	Quelques semaines plus tard, Swift, membre du groupe [[D-12]] est condamné à 93 jours de prison pour avoir manqué une visite devant la cour, suite à une période de probation due à une conduite en état d'ébriété, car il participait aux funérailles de Proof. Au mois de mai, c'est Sindy Syringe (femme de Bizarre, l'un des membres de [[D-12]]), qui se fait à son tour tirer dessus à [[Detroit]].	+	{{cquote|I'm sure everybody who has ever met him, even just once, can testify to the fact that he illuminated a room when he walked in it. I believe that Proof loved people and people loved him. He was a magnet. He lured you in. You wanted to learn about him, follow his swagger. Without Proof, there would be no Eminem, no Slim Shady, and no D12.}}
-	==Le retour de Shady Records==	+	During an interview, [[D12]] member [[Bizarre (rapper)|Bizarre]] said that [[Interscope]] doesn't want [[D12]]'s third album to be released until after Eminem's next album. <ref>[http://detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071025/ENT04/710250404/1424/ENT04 ''DetNews.com'' - D12's Bizarre celebrates new album with a release party] ([[October 25]], [[2006]])</ref> He also said that Eminem isn't featured on his new album ''[[Blue Cheese & Coney Island]]'' because "he's busy doing his thing". <ref>http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=15387</ref>

He also appears in the video with a new tattoo of his late friend [[Proof (rapper)|Proof]] and a green polo.

-	! width="28" rowspan="2"| '''Année'''	+	With the enormous popularity of ''[[The Marshall Mathers LP]]'', the controversy surrounding him grew even larger, especially when it was nominated for a [[Grammy Award]] for Album of the Year. Though Mathers had always claimed that his lyrics were not meant to be taken seriously, and that he had nothing against homosexuals or women, the gay rights group GLAAD organized a [[boycott]] of the Grammys. Ironically, at the Grammys Eminem performed his hit "[[Stan (song)|Stan]]", with [[Elton John]] singing the chorus. Eminem said he did not know Elton John was gay, but he told [[Kurt Loder]] after the awards show that he respected him: "Of course I'd heard of Elton John," Eminem said, "but I didn't know he was gay. I didn't know anything about his personal life. I didn't really care, but being that he was gay and he had my back, I think it made a statement in itself saying that he understood where I was coming from."<ref>[http://www.wndu.com/entertainment/022001/entertainment_6360.php Eminem-“I didn’t know about his personal life”]. WNDU. Accessed [[March 28]] [[2007]]</ref> He had also included it on his ''[[Curtain Call: The Hits]]'' compilation album.

In the latter, despite his conflicting expressions of love and hate throughout the track, he ends up slitting Kim's throat at the end, accompanied by cries of "Bleed, bitch, bleed!" Several people objected to the graphic description of [[domestic violence]]. On the clean version of the CD, the track was removed and replaced with a song almost entirely devoid of profanity called "The Kids."

-	| "[[Just Don't Give a Fuck]]"	+	Eminem's provocative style has resulted in a number of high-profile feuds erupting between the rapper and some of his music industry peers. In almost all of these disputes Eminem and other have more-or-less made peace. He has used his many connections within the music industry, especially with mixtape DJs, to release many unofficial diss tracks. His partnership with DJ Green Lantern, while it lasted, led to several mixtapes entitled The Invasion. On these mixtapes there were many songs unrelated to the animosity between Eminem and his labelmates and other artists, though the majority of the songs could easily be called diss tracks. The harshest of these was the second, called Conspiracy Theory. It had several songs by Eminem attacking a range of artists, particularly Ja Rule and Benzino, including "Bump Heads," "Doe Ray Me," and a remix of the Tupac (2Pac) song "Hail Mary" (with no contribution from [[Tupac Shakur|the original artist]]).

The word was also used in [[Immortal Technique|Immortal Technique's]] song "Bin Laden", stated near the end. Immortal Technique also attacks the president on the song. His song "White America" from the [[The Eminem Show]] album states a long supposed "[[anti-American]]" speech: <blockquote>"''sent to lead the march right up to the steps of [[United States Congress|congress]], and piss on the lawns of the [[White House]], to burn the [[Flag of the United States|flag]] and replace it with a [[Parental Advisory|parental advisory sticker]], to spit [[liquor]] in the faces of in this [[democracy]] of [[hypocrisy]], fuck you [[Lynne Cheney|Ms. Cheney]], fuck you [[Tipper Gore]], fuck you with the freest of speech this divided states of embarrassment will allow me to have, FUCK YOU!''".</blockquote>
-	==Récompenses==	+	On [[October 26]], [[2004]], a week before the [[U.S. presidential election, 2004|2004 U.S. Presidential election]], Eminem released the video for his song titled "Mosh" on the internet. The song features a very strong anti-[[George W. Bush|Bush]] message, with lyrics such as "fuck Bush" and "this [[WMDs|weapon of mass destruction]] that we call our president." The video features Mathers gathering up an army of people (including rapper [[Lloyd Banks]]) presented as victims of the [[George W. Bush administration|Bush administration]] and leading them to the [[White House]]. However, once the army breaks in, it is revealed that they are there to simply register to vote, and the video ends with the words "VOTE Tuesday November 2" on the screen.

Biography

Early life (1972-1994)

Eminem was born in St. Joseph, Missouri to Deborah (née Nelson) and Marshall Bruce Mathers II, of Scottish, German, and English descent.<ref>William Addams Reitwiesner Genealogical Service Ancestry of Marshall Bruce Mathers III. Wargs. Accessed July 30 2007</ref> Shortly after his birth, his father walked out, leaving Debbie and Marshall alone. Until he was 12, he and his mother moved to and from between St. Joseph and Warren, Michigan, a Detroit suburb, where he met D12 rapper Proof.<ref>Proof and Eminem Freestyle. Youtube. Accessed March 27 2007.</ref> He was reportedly interested in hip hop from a young age. Because he was small for his age and he was one of the few whites that lived in an African American neighboorhood he was reportedly picked on. Mathers decided that even though he was too small to fight back he would instead retaliate with words. Learning how to "battle" his foes with rap music gave him an outlet for his anger.<ref>Biography of Eminem. Hip Hop Roll. Accessed October 21 2007.</ref> Mathers began performing as early as 13 in a group called Bassmint Productions where they produced an EP called Steppin' onto the Scene.

First releases (1995-1998)

In 1995, he recorded his first official tape, Fuckin’ Backstabber/Soul Intent. In 1996, he released an independent underground album named Infinite. Eminem recalls: "Obviously, I was young and influenced by other artists, and I got a lot of feedback saying that I sounded like Nas and AZ. Infinite was me trying to figure out how I wanted my rap style to be, how I wanted to sound on the mic and present myself. It was a growing stage. I felt like Infinite was like a demo that just got pressed up."<ref>Eminems Underground debut. VanityFair. Accessed August 2 2007.</ref><ref>Eminem Biography. Eminem.net. Accessed August 2 2007.</ref> Mathers followed Infinite with The Slim Shady EP, which saw his lyrics take a decidedly darker turn, in songs like "No One's Iller" and "Murder Murder", the latter of which he talks about having to commit crimes to feed his daughter.

After this album he received much attention and mixed reviews in the hip-hop underground scene, due to his distinctive style and the fact that he was white in a predominantly black genre.

Mathers had done a notable amount of rapping with fellow Detroit MC Royce da 5'9" early in his career. They referred to themselves as Bad Meets Evil, with Eminem playing 'The Bad' and Royce playing 'The Evil'. Royce da 5'9" and Eminem were once considered to be two of the greatest underground MCs in Detroit and were noted for their lyrical ability.

In 1997, when Eminem was still rising to fame, he started a long feud against the already famous Insane Clown Posse. The feud originated in 1997 at Saint Andrew's Hall, where Eminem was handing out flyers for a party promoting his Slim Shady EP. The flyer listed appearances by a number of Detroit rappers, including ICP. Violent J, a member of ICP, was not too happy about being listed without his knowledge and he told Eminem that he wasn't going to play at his party. Eminem, taking his rejection as an insult, began insulting ICP, telling people, for example, that he threw them out of a club in Detroit. ICP denied the event in their song Nuttin' But a Bitch Thang:

"You ain't never chased us out of no club bitch... only club you ever chased anybody out of was a gay bar bitch".

The rivalry between these rappers has not slowed down, as of recently.

Rise to fame (1999-2004)

After being signed to Aftermath Entertainment/Interscope Records, Eminem released The Slim Shady LP, which went on to be one of the most popular albums of 1999, going triple platinum by the end of the year.<ref name=rotn>Eminem Timeline. Rock on the Net. Accessed August 1 2007.</ref> With the album's popularity came controversy surrounding many of the album's lyrics. In "'97 Bonnie and Clyde", he describes a trip with his infant daughter, disposing of the body of his wife. Another song, "Guilty Conscience", ends with his encouraging a man to murder his wife and her lover. "Guilty Conscience" also marked the beginning of the powerful friendship and musical bond that Dr. Dre and Eminem would share. The two label-mates would later collaborate on a line of hit songs, including "Forgot About Dre" and "What's the Difference" from Dr. Dre's album 2001, "Bitch Please II" from the Marshall Mathers LP, "Say What You Say" from The Eminem Show and "Encore/Curtains Down" from Encore.

Eminem was arrested when, on June 3, 2000, during an altercation at a car audio store in Royal Oak, Michigan, with Douglas Dail, the ICP manager, he pulled out an unloaded gun and kept it pointed at the ground<ref name="AOZ">The 411 online - Archives</ref>. The following day, in Warren, Michigan, he allegedly saw his then wife, Kim, kiss the bouncer John Guerrera in the parking lot of the Hot Rock Café and assaulted him with his gun<ref name="AOZ"/>. He was given two years probation for both the episodes<ref>MTV News - Eminem Gets Two Years' Probation In Weapon Case (April 10, 2001)</ref>. The skit The Kiss on The Eminem Show is based around the latter incident<ref>AZlyrics.com - The Kiss (Eminem song)</ref>.

The Marshall Mathers LP was released in May 2000, and quickly sold two million copies. It was Eminem's fastest selling album to date.<ref>Eminem Bounces Britney From Top Spot. "RollingStone". Accessed July 31 2007</ref> The first single released from the album, "The Real Slim Shady", was a success and created some buzz by insulting celebrities and making dubious claims about them; he implies, among other things, that Christina Aguilera performed oral sex on Fred Durst (of Limp Bizkit) and Carson Daly (of MTV's Total Request Live).<ref>"The Real Slim Shady" Lyrics. AZLyrics. Accessed August 3 2007.</ref> In his second single, "The Way I Am", he reveals to his fans the pressures from his record company to top "My Name Is" and sell more records. Although Eminem had parodied shock rocker Marilyn Manson in the video "My Name Is", the artists are now on good terms. They have performed a remix of the song "The Way I Am" together in concert.<ref>Some Marilyn Manson Scraps From the Road. NYRock. Accessed July 31 2007.</ref> In the third single, "Stan" (which samples Dido's "Thank You"), Eminem attempts to deal with his new-found fame, taking on the perspective of a deranged fan who kills himself and his pregnant girlfriend, mirroring "'97 Bonnie & Clyde" on The Slim Shady LP. It was named as the third greatest rap song of all time in a list compiled by Q Magazine,<ref>Steve Parker (July 2004). 150 Greatest Rock Lists Ever: Q Special Edition. Rocklistmusic. Accessed July 31 2007.</ref> and came 10th in a similar survey conducted by Top40-Charts.com.<ref>25 years of Hip-hop: Top 100 Greatest Hip-hop/Rap Singles of all time. Top40Charts. July 31 2007</ref> The song has since become highly acclaimed and was ranked 290th in Rolling Stone Magazine's "500 Greatest Songs Of All Time".<ref>500 Greatest Songs Of All Time. "RollingStone". Accessed July 31 2007.</ref>

Mathers' third major album, The Eminem Show, was released in summer 2002 and proved to be another hit for the rapper reaching number one on the charts and selling well over 1 million copies in its first week of release.<ref name=rotn/> It featured the single "Without Me", an apparent sequel to "The Real Slim Shady", in which he makes derogatory comments about boy bands, Limp Bizkit, Moby, and Lynne Cheney, among others. The album reflected on the impact of his rise to fame, his relationship with his wife and daughter, and his status in the hip-hop community. He also addresses the charges he faced over assaulting a bouncer he saw kissing his wife in 2000. While there is clear anger present on several tracks, this album was considerably less inflammatory than the previous, and as such did not face any protests of misogyny and homophobia that had plagued The Marshall Mathers LP.

The year 2004 saw the release of Mathers' fourth major album, Encore. The album was another chart-topper for the rapper, driven by the single "Just Lose It", notable for being disrespectful towards Michael Jackson.<ref>Eminem-"Just Lose It" Lyrics. AZLyrics. Accessed August 3 2007</ref> Despite the comedic theme of the lead single, Encore also had its fair share of serious subject matter, including the anti-war track "Mosh". By the end of 2005 Mathers released the single, "When I'm Gone", recorded for the greatest-hits set Curtain Call: The Hits.

Eminem often said that one of his most influential rappers in his career was Tupac Shakur, during an interview for the Tupac: Resurrection documentary.<ref>Reid, Shaheem; Lazin, Lauren. Eminem: Reconstructing Tupac. MTV: October 27, 2003. Accessed July 31 2007</ref>

Recent years (2005-present)

In 2005, some industry insiders speculated that Mathers was considering ending his rapping career after six years and several multi-platinum albums. Speculation began in early 2005 about a double-disc album to be released late that year, rumored to be titled The Funeral. <ref>Eminem-The Funeral. 1StrowSeats. Accessed July 31 2007</ref> The album manifested itself under the name Curtain Call: The Hits, and was released on December 6 2005 under Aftermath Entertainment. In July 2005, the Detroit Free Press broke news of a potential final bow for Mathers as a solo performer, quoting members of his inside circle who said that he will begin to fully embrace the role of producer and label executive. The Free Press, Mathers' hometown paper, wrote that the aptly titled Encore album would now stand as his final solo album.<ref>The end of Eminem?. Freep. Accessed July 31 2007</ref> On December 6 2005, the day Curtain Call: The Hits was released, Mathers denied that he was retiring on Detroit-based WKQI's "Mojo in the Mornin'" radio show, but implied that he would at least be taking a break as an artist, saying "I'm at a point in my life right now where I feel like I don't know where my career is going… This is the reason that we called it 'Curtain Call,' because this could be the final thing. We don't know."<ref>Curtain Call, The End Of Eminem?. NYTimes. Accessed July 31 2007</ref>

On December 5 2006, Eminem released an album compilation entitled Eminem Presents the Re-Up. It started out as a mixtape but Eminem found that the material was better than expected and released it as a full album. It was meant to help launch new Shady Records artists Stat Quo, Ca$his, and Bobby Creekwater. <ref>Eminem present the Re-Up, Now an album. MusicToday. Accessed August 3 2007</ref>

In September 2007, Eminem called into New York radio station Hot 97 during a 50 Cent interview and confirmed he is hard at work on his first studio album in three years. He said, "I'm always working -- I'm always in the studio. It feels good right now, the energy of the label. For a while, I didn't want to go back to the studio ... I went through some personal things. I'm coming out of those personal things [and] it feels good." And though he jokingly said he'd release the new CD "tomorrow", there is no official release date, according to Interscope. <ref>Eminem in "Limbo", Says He's Not Sure About Another Album.

In November, 50 Cent said Eminem won't tour again because of his daughter. He told MTV One: "I've toured more than him because he has Hailie and he likes to physically be at the house. A lot of people don't know the reason behind him touring less - but Hailie would put boxes in front of the door thinking this would stop him going. He would fly back on a private plane after the show so he could drive her to school in the morning so for him the tour was exhausting." <ref>MTV.co.uk - 50 Cent reveals all (November 15, 2007)</ref>

Other projects and D12

Main article: D12

In 2001, Mathers brought his rap group, D12, to the popular music scene. In 2001, D12 released their hit debut album Devil's Night (album).

The first single released off of the album was "Purple Pills", an ode to recreational drug use. (In the UK this was preceded by "Shit on You", included on the special edition version of the album.) The version of "Purple Pills" released for radio and music television was heavily rewritten to remove many of the song's obscene lyrics, and renamed "Purple Hills". While the first single was a hit, the album's second single, "Fight Music", was not as successful, in part due to its timing in relation to the 9/11 attacks.

After their debut, D12 took a three-year break from the studio, later regrouping to release their second album, D12 World, in 2004, which featured the popular hit single release "My Band". The other members of D12 have also appeared as guests on all of Mathers' albums since The Marshall Mathers LP.

On April 11, 2006, D12 member Proof was killed by a gunshot wound to the head at approximately 4:30am EDT (08:30 UTC) at the CCC Club on 8 Mile Road in Detroit, Michigan after fatally shooting U.S. military veteran Keith Bender, Jr. Proof was buried on April 20, 2006 in The Fellowship Chapel, Detroit to a full house of 2,000 with thousands more mourning outside. Mathers and Obie Trice both read eulogies at the service.

Eminem as a producer

Modèle:See also Mathers is also active as a producer of rap records. Besides being the executive producer of D12's two albums, Devil's Night and D12 World, he has also executive produced Obie Trice's Cheers and Second Round's on Me as well as 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin' and The Massacre. In addition, Mathers has produced and appeared on several songs by other famous rappers, such as Jadakiss' "Welcome To D-Block", Jay-Z's "Renagade" and "Moment of Clarity" Lloyd Banks' "Warrior Part 2", and "Hands Up", Tony Yayo's "Drama Setter", Trick Trick's "Welcome 2 Detroit", and Xzibit's "My Name" and "Don't Approach Me". Most of The Eminem Show was produced by Mathers himself, with co-production from longtime collaborator Jeff Bass. He also split the production with Dr. Dre on Encore. In 2004, Mathers was the Executive Producer of 2Pac's posthumous album Loyal to the Game with 2Pac's mother Afeni Shakur. He produced the UK #1 single "Ghetto Gospel" which featured Elton John. On certain tracks on the album, 2Pac's voice was slowed down and digitally altered to match the beat and make him say things like "2005" and "G-Unit", angering many fans. He has also produced "The Cross" off Nas's album God's Son. On August 15, 2006, Obie Trice released Second Round's on Me. Eminem produced 8 tracks on the album. He was also featured in the song "There They Go".

Acting career

Mathers made his Hollywood acting debut with the semi-autobiographical 8 Mile, released in November 2002. He has said the movie is not an account of his life, but a representation of growing up in Detroit. He recorded several new songs for the soundtrack, including "Lose Yourself", which won an Academy Award for Best Original Song; it was not performed at the ceremony, reportedly because ABC wanted him to perform an edited version. Mathers voiced a character in 50 Cent: Bulletproof, who is an aging corrupt police officer that speaks in Ebonics. He has also done some voice acting, both on Crank Yankers and a web cartoon called The Slim Shady Show, which has since been pulled off-line and is instead sold on DVD. Eminem will star in the upcoming film Have Gun — Will Travel in which he will play a bounty hunter called Paladin. He will also be involved in either the soundtrack or scoring.<ref>Eminem To Star In 'Have Gun, Will Travel'. USTI. Accessed July 30 2007</ref> He has also stated a movie production company called “Interscope/Shady/Aftermath Films” with Dr. Dre. The company has worked on 50 Cent's debut movie Get Rich or Die Tryin' and will work on Eminem's next movie Have Gun — Will Travel.

Shady Records

Main article: Shady Records

As Mathers succeeded in multi-platinum record sales, Interscope granted him his own record label. He and his manager Paul Rosenberg created Shady Records in late 2000. He followed this by signing his own Detroit collective D12 and rapper Obie Trice to the label. In 2002, Mathers signed 50 Cent through a joint venture between Shady and Dr. Dre's Aftermath label. In 2003, Mathers and Dr. Dre signed on Atlanta rapper Stat Quo to the Shady/Aftermath roster. DJ Green Lantern, the former DJ for Mathers, was signed to Shady Records until a dispute related to the 50 Cent and Jadakiss feud forced him to depart from the label; he is no longer associated with Mathers. <ref>DJ Green Lantern-No Longer Associates with Mather?. BallterStatus. Accessed July 31 2007.</ref> The Alchemist is now officially Mathers' tour DJ. In 2005, Mathers officially signed another Atlanta rapper known as Bobby Creekwater to his label along with west coast rapper Ca$his.

In the Anger Management Tour of 2003 The Alchemist hurt his wrist, preventing him from being the tour's DJ. Clinton Sparks filled in for him, with the rectom playing and his name is mentioned on the album numerous times.

Drug use

Mathers is no stranger to drugs and alcohol, as suggested by a large number of his songs, including "Drug Ballad", "These Drugs" (with D12) and "Under the Influence". The song "I'm Shady" (The Slim Shady LP, 1999) includes the explanatory line: "Well, I do take pills (ecstasy, acid, or prescription drugs), don't do speed / don't do crack, don't do coke / I do smoke weed / don't do smack / I do do 'shrooms, do drink beer / I just wanna make a few things clear."

Other tracks, such as "Just Don't Give a Fuck", suggest cocaine use. However, with a sentence of two years of probation taking effect in 2001, during which he was subject to mandatory regular drug testing, his recreational drug use was put to an end. This is supported with references to his drug use in his music all but disappearing after 2001, and comments by late band-mate Proof, who stated that Mathers "sobered up".<ref>Reid, Shaheem. Has Eminem Gone The Way Of Mase And MC Hammer. MTV: March 4, 2002. Accessed July 31, 2007.</ref> However, he did turn to Zolpidem sleeping pills for relief of sleeping troubles and eventually went to rehab to recover from the addiction. In summer 2005, Mathers embarked on his first U.S. concert run in three years, the Anger Management 3 Tour, featuring Lil' Jon, 50 Cent and G-Unit, D12, Obie Trice, The Alchemist, and others. In August 2005, Mathers canceled the European leg of the tour and subsequently announced that he had entered drug rehabilitation for treatment for a "dependency on sleep medication".<ref>van Druten, Rebekah.

Controversy

Alleged homophobia

With the enormous popularity of The Marshall Mathers LP, the controversy surrounding him grew even larger, especially when it was nominated for a Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Though Mathers had always claimed that his lyrics were not meant to be taken seriously, and that he had nothing against homosexuals or women, the gay rights group GLAAD organized a boycott of the Grammys. Ironically, at the Grammys Eminem performed his hit "Stan", with Elton John singing the chorus. Eminem said he did not know Elton John was gay, but he told Kurt Loder after the awards show that he respected him: "Of course I'd heard of Elton John," Eminem said, "but I didn't know he was gay. I didn't know anything about his personal life. I didn't really care, but being that he was gay and he had my back, I think it made a statement in itself saying that he understood where I was coming from."<ref>Eminem-“I didn’t know about his personal life”.

In the latter, despite his conflicting expressions of love and hate throughout the track, he ends up slitting Kim's throat at the end, accompanied by cries of "Bleed, bitch, bleed!" Several people objected to the graphic description of domestic violence. On the clean version of the CD, the track was removed and replaced with a song almost entirely devoid of profanity called "The Kids."

Criticism from other artists

Eminem's provocative style has resulted in a number of high-profile feuds erupting between the rapper and some of his music industry peers. In almost all of these disputes Eminem and other have more-or-less made peace. He has used his many connections within the music industry, especially with mixtape DJs, to release many unofficial diss tracks. His partnership with DJ Green Lantern, while it lasted, led to several mixtapes entitled The Invasion. On these mixtapes there were many songs unrelated to the animosity between Eminem and his labelmates and other artists, though the majority of the songs could easily be called diss tracks. The harshest of these was the second, called Conspiracy Theory. It had several songs by Eminem attacking a range of artists, particularly Ja Rule and Benzino, including "Bump Heads," "Doe Ray Me," and a remix of the Tupac (2Pac) song "Hail Mary" (with no contribution from the original artist).

Eminem's "Mosh" marked the end of the long feud between Moby and Eminem; when Moby complimented both the song and Eminem for his politically charged song on his blog. Eminem has not attacked or criticized Moby since.

Chuck D of Public Enemy has shared both positive and negative critique of Eminem having called him the "new" Elvis Presley.:"Eminem is the new Elvis Presley because, number one, he has the respect for black music that Elvis had. I think he's courteous and sympathetic to black music and, unfortunately, he's more sympathetic to black music than many black artists themselves." <ref>Eminem Biography. IMDB. Accessed July 31 2007.</ref> In 2003, "Weird Al" Yankovic was denied permission to make a video for "Couch Potato", his parody of Eminem's "Lose Yourself".

Youtube. Accessed July 27 2006</ref>

Criticism of George W. Bush

On December 8, 2003, the United States Secret Service admitted it was "looking into" allegations that Mathers had threatened the President of the United States after the unreleased song "We As Americans" leaked onto the Web. The lyrics in question: "Fuck money / I don't rap for dead presidents / I'd rather see the president dead / It's never been said, but I set precedents...". The song in question, titled "We As Americans", was being recorded possibly for Encore but wound up on a bonus CD accompanying the album instead.<ref>Erlewine, Stephen Thomas. "Encore" - Overview. All Music Guide. Last accessed Sept. 7, 2007.</ref> The second use of the word "dead" was backmasked in that version, sounding like head. The word was also used in Immortal Technique's song "Bin Laden", stated near the end. Immortal Technique also attacks the president on the song. His song "White America" from the The Eminem Show album states a long supposed "anti-American" speech:

"sent to lead the march right up to the steps of congress, and piss on the lawns of the White House, to burn the flag and replace it with a parental advisory sticker, to spit liquor in the faces of in this democracy of hypocrisy, fuck you Ms. Cheney, fuck you Tipper Gore, fuck you with the freest of speech this divided states of embarrassment will allow me to have, FUCK YOU!".

On October 26, 2004, a week before the 2004 U.S. Presidential election, Eminem released the video for his song titled "Mosh" on the internet. The song features a very strong anti-Bush message, with lyrics such as "fuck Bush" and "this weapon of mass destruction that we call our president." The video features Mathers gathering up an army of people (including rapper Lloyd Banks) presented as victims of the Bush administration and leading them to the White House. However, once the army breaks in, it is revealed that they are there to simply register to vote, and the video ends with the words "VOTE Tuesday November 2" on the screen.

After Bush won the election, the video's ending was changed to Eminem and the protesters invading while Bush was giving a speech.

Michael Jackson

On October 12, 2004, a week after the release of "Just Lose It", Eminem's first single off Encore, Michael Jackson called into the Los Angeles-based Steve Harvey radio show to report his displeasure with the video, which parodies Jackson's child molestation trial, plastic surgery, and an incident in which Jackson's hair caught on fire while filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984. The lyrics to "Just Lose It" also refer to Jackson's legal troubles, however he does state in his song "...and that's not a stab at Michael/Thats just a metaphor/I'm just psycho...". Many of Jackson's supporters and friends spoke out about the video, including Stevie Wonder, who called the video "kicking a man while he's down" and "bullshit".<ref name="MJ">Stevie Wonder has words to say about Eminem. AllHipHop. Accessed July 31 2007</ref> and Steve Harvey who declared, "Eminem has lost his ghetto pass. We want the pass back." <ref name="MJ"> In the video, Eminem also parodied Pee Wee Herman, MC Hammer, and a Blonde-Ambition-touring Madonna.

Black Entertainment Television was the first channel to stop airing the video. MTV, however, announced it would continue airing the video, and "Just Lose It" became the #1 requested video on Total Request Live for the week ending October 22. The Source, through its CEO Raymond "Benzino" Scott, wanted not only the video to be pulled, but the song off the album, and a public apology to Jackson from Mathers.<ref>Eminem to make a publich apology. SOHH. Accessed July 31 2007.</ref>

Regarding Jackson's protest, "Weird Al" Yankovic, who parodied the Eminem song "Lose Yourself" on a track titled "Couch Potato" on his 2003 album Poodle Hat, told the Chicago Sun-Times, "Last year, Eminem forced me to halt production on the video for my "Lose Yourself" parody because he somehow thought that it would be harmful to his image or career.
